We spend more time telling clients’ stories rather than our own, but there have been some real highlights at Weltch Media in 2013, which we thought were worth sharing.

In February, Allie Lawson joined us as a communications consultant – a real boost to the team, which has helped us further improve our service. Allie has delivered great results in social media, media relations, research and copywriting, including several projects for Tennis Wales and other clients.

In April, we made headlines ourselves by becoming the first agency in Wales to be recognised in the UK-wide BestFor PR awards – winning a gold award in the Wales “regional” category, and silver awards for our work in Sport and Public Services.

In October, we were invited to attend the Chartered Institute of Marketing’s Canmol awards, where another client Swansea University scooped a top prize. Indeed, higher education continued to be a specialist area for us, and we also completed several successful projects for Cardiff University.
